I think you're referring to this post. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8716463

Switch (2018) wouldn't win one NPD against Wii (2008) is what he meant. Which is right so far.

Edit: Oh well, nevermind.

i been right on many thing like amazon, ps4 beating switch this year, switch selling less in 2018 vs 2017 in the second quarter, predicting tool not being reliable, but i only get called out on the wrong things by the haters, i wonder why.

You get called out because you seem to a vendetta against the switch. When sharing your thoughts and opinions you are often just plain insufferable.

I don't have a vendetta against switch, i only talk about sales mainly, if switch does 3 million for the holidays ill eat crow, and probably won't even post anymore.

I'll probably post a lot less cause switch sales is something i thought i could predict right, that's why i mainly discuss switch sales, as for me being wrong, i been right way more then wrong really, and i admit i got somethings wrong, if switch does does 3 million, then yea i will be getting most things wrong.

my prediction for switch for the year.

5.2-5.3

ps4 5.9-6.1

my thoughts on october switch continues to lose momentum, even though it had the smash bundle which probably gave it a nice 30-40k boost, since it was sold out online long before it came out. ps4 is wow just a beast. november/december will very interesting, ps4 might hit 2 million, switch might break 1.1 million, but will probably see a decline in December as apposed to last year.

Wait a minute. I'm getting some deja vu here. I wonder why. :P

Mr.GameCrazy said:

Wait a second. The Switch sold 12% less than last October!? It's losing momentum, guyz!!

I predicted the future, guyz!! XD

PS4 ~340.000

impressive PS4 numbers and November is again extremely strong, especially thanks to Spiderman bundles, Battlefield 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

This sales figures are very good for the games-industry and us :) Golden Times.

Mr.GameCrazy said:
Congrats to the PS4!

I'm really excited about how much Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 will push the PS4 in January. I am very happy with the current console-industry and the success.

Last year it wasn't supply constrained   during the holidays until the very end December, and it was very minor, not enough to effect sales. i'm pretty sure switch won't sell 3 million, ill happily eat crow. i won all my bets so far BTW. The only one i have a chance of losing imo is the 5.2 million, switch might do 5.3 or 5.4.

Looks like you missed the point about supply constraints and Black Friday deals. Nintendo had no reason to offer any deals last year because the stock they did have was going to sell without special offers, therefore any sorts of deals would have only impacted their bottom line, but not raised unit sales. In theory, a $299 bundle with Mario Kart would have led to higher sales than ~800k in November 2017; but in praxis, Nintendo did not have the supply to get higher holiday sales than they did.

Regarding your bets, you won some because your Nintendo equivalents reacted to your hyperbole with hyperbole and set way higher goals than they needed to prove you wrong and it backfired on them. The 5.2m bet is different, because it granted you only some wiggle room - you said Switch would be flat year over year at best (4.88m).

LOL really? here are the bets

ps4 2014 would out sell switch 2018 jan, and switch couldn't even with a extra week

switch would out sell ps4 2014 from jan-april it didn't 

last bet was switch would out sell  more in 2018 sales vs 2017 from april-august, it didn't

none of them were hyper hyperbole at all.

 

anyway we nothing pointing to switch doing astonishing numbers, well i guess benji but last year during the holidays, he was off with his data in november.

Yeah, he is the only culprit of shifting goalposts and being wrong all the time on VGC...
